The Government Bridge will close for three days next week for repairs.

The closure was originally scheduled for today, but has been postponed.

The U.S. Army Garrison Rock Island Arsenal Directorate of Public Works announced Wednesday that it will close the bridge to vehicular traffic from Monday at 8:30 a.m. until Wednesday at 7 p.m. to complete repairs to its lift mechanism.

The bridge will remain open to pedestrian traffic. Signs and barricades will be placed during the closure.
